Because they use a double shell of glass, -they are also insensitive to finger oils, and do not present the same risk of -burns when at operating temperature. As a drop in replacement for incandescant, -these bulbs are very nice indeed: - - Type W Lumens Color L/W Maker Model Life - - QH 42 665 15.8 Sylvania CAP 3500 -> I 40 505 12.6 1000 - - QH 52 885 17.0 Sylvania CAP 3500 -> I 60 870 14.5 1000 - - QH 72 1300 18.0 Sylvania CAP 3500 -> I 75 1190 15.9 750 - -floods and spots (52 and 72 Watts I think). The ones I purchased cost -almost $4.00 each, so they are not cheap, but I have been very happy -with them so far. No data at the moment on the 3500 hour lifetimes. - -Rob Kleinschmidt I have been using the same type of halogen bulbs, but from a different manufacturer for months, they're great! They produce a brilliant white light & screw right into ordinary light sockets. I have never had one burn out, so I too am unable to comment about the lifetime of the bulbs. I have catalogs available if anyone is interested where you can purchase these light bulbs plus about 700 other household products using an 800 toll free number. The bulbs cost 14.99 + tax & ship for a box of 4 bulbs. If you would like a catalog, send me e-mail with your name & address and provided I don't get a million requests, I should be able to send out a catalog to anyone who is interested.
